12/7/2012 (Courtesy TheBoot.com) — Good Morning! Sheryl Crow may be known as one of rock music’s most successful females, but she hopes to expand her fanbase in country music. The singer-songwriter has finished her first country album, which she recorded in her barn at her home in Nashville.

“It’s been really fun to make,” she tells Country Weekly. “My record is probably more country than a lot of country that is getting played [on the radio], so I hope I get played.”

The 50-year-old star, who has lived in Music City for seven years, says she feels perfectly at home in the genre. “I think it’s the best format if you like songs as a forum — songs that are melodic and lyric-driven,” she explains. “That’s what I’ve always loved. There isn’t a home for that outside of country consistently.”
